Short cutted hair and pencil silhouette: the look of the 20s women. Those were women who have must to do everything without men during the Great War, taking their place during their absence. Those were women who have started working, earning and spending for themselves. Not surprisingly, in this period the figure of the woman is a bit ‘masculine, à la garçonne: extremely thin, with short hair cutted above the ear, eliminated the bodice, appeared the first pants. Compared to past epochs, the edge of the skirts is up a lot: this is the first time in the history of fashion and this causes, inevitably, excitement but also discontent. Women are free to dance the Charleston wildly.

This is the era of wildness, of jazz, short skirts, the era of red lips, cult of youth, free love, alcohol, opium and nicotine: these are the Roaring Twenties, in which the horrors of war are a recent memory that goes to live with the throttle, with the knowledge that everything could end at any moment.
